| Tuesday Off Road Evening Ride | 2* |
|---|
Leader:David Yearley |
Start Time:6:30 pm |
Start Location:OMH |
Description:Off-road ride around local tracks, usually about 15 miles. Knobbly tyres and good lights required. We are keen to welcome new riders and have spare lights available to borrow if you let me know. Dark, cold and wet - we'll ride in any two. But please let me know if you are coming so I can tell you if I decide to cancel due to really bad weather. |

Report:Welcome to the off-road rides to Jason, who braved a bit of mud in lieu of his normal 4* Road Ride.We started with a puncture before getting too far into the ride, and we ended with an incurable puncture that saw Dave B catching a lift home in a car. From Grove we took the usual Crab Hill route to Wantage, and then up to the Ridgeway via Goddard's Brook. The conditions were lovely on top, so we decided to drop down through Ice Valley to Land's End and then climb back up to the summit via the nearby track from the Ilsley road. The Gingle singletrack beckoned, which is where Dave B suffered his puncture. You might like to ask him which brand of tyre to avoid in future if you're running tubeless. A good ride, even if it was elongated by unfortunate puncture stops. | ||
